Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. Nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. Objectives: This study aimed t...

numerous causes are reported for ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, known as guyon's tunnel syndrome. in the present article, a patient with guyon's tunnel syndrome during pregnancy concomitant with an anomaly of ulnar nerve is described. a 29-year-old iranian woman presented with clinical features of guyon's tunnel syndrome (pain and paresthesia in the fifth finger of the left hand and atro...

background: stroke is the first cause of morbidity all around the world. entrapment neuropathies are a known complication of stroke. the objective of this study is to assess the frequency of subclinical carpal tunnel syndrome in the healthy and paretic hands of stroke patients. methods: the authors performed nerve conduction study in the first three days after admission in 39 stroke patients wi...

abstract   background: the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with increased intracarpal canal pressure. recently, palmaris longus has been introduced as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. the purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of palmaris longus tendon and functional superfi...
